[4]One of the biggest joys in writing LifeasMOM is getting to know you, my readers. I have developed some fantastic friendships thanks to blogging and met some wonderful people.

Amongst those wonderful people is Carrie from Carrie’s Busy Nothings[5]. Carrie has been the source of some fantastic book recommendations over the year and I’m so thankful that she started Booking It[6] this year.

Today, Carrie’s got a book recommendation of a very fun kind — a book that she and her husband co-wrote.

Mashed Potatoes: A Little Brother Story[7] is a sweet tale of a young boy who learns a lesson in self-control. I had a crowd about me last time I read it, as my younger kids, age 8 and down, gathered around to listen. FishBoy6 was mesmerized and a little concerned for the fate of Little Brother.

Never fear, it all works out in the end.

You can buy the book on Amazon[7] or through Create Space[8] at a 20% discount when you use the code VEYN69RM. (The code does not work at Amazon, but it does qualify for free shipping because Amazon is Amazing[9].)
